As Korea’s only museum dedicated to traditional Korean lighting devices, it offers insight into the everyday lives of past generations and is widely visited by both individuals and student groups. The cylindrical, lighthouse-shaped building features exhibition spaces on the first and second floors and a multipurpose hall for seminars and performances on the third. An annex displays agricultural tools, while the outdoor area includes a pond and a stone garden ideal for a leisurely stroll. The museum offers a range of educational programs for all ages, including hands-on activities like making candles, LED lamps, and ceramic oil lamps. Its location near the tomb of Jeong Mong-ju makes it easy to combine both sites in a single visit.
